Christine, 66, Was Laid Off After More Than 20 Years. Then Employers Stopped Answering: "Is Ageism Alive and Silent?"

Christine Sesnon is 66 and does not want to retire. She wants a job. “I want to be a part of a team, I want to work,” the Butte County, California, woman told Action News Now reporter Bella Barbosa in an August report from Chico. In the station’s video, she adds that she can work weekends and nights. The trouble started when she was laid off from a job she had held for more than two decades. Now she is back on the job hunt. “I’ve done some looking for work online for remote jobs across the country, I’ve been ghosted on those,” Sesnon said. She was careful not to overstate it. “I’m not saying that I’ve applied to five jobs a week,” she told the station, “but I am saying that the jobs that I’ve applied for on a regular basis, I’m getting rejections from, and this is concerning.” She says she is not the only one. According to Action News Now , Sesnon has watched friends in their 60s, people with years of experience and education, struggle to get hired too. “They’re door dashing,” she said. “They can’t find jobs, it’s absurd. It’s just bizarre.” All of those

Redding eyeing more cuts to vacant city jobs to shore up budget

Redding leaders are weighing which of dozens of vacant city jobs they'll cut, if any, including six top positions and eight public safety positions. Each of the vacant jobs under scrutiny is partly or completely supported by the general fund, Interim City Manager Michael Webb said in a report about job vacancies to the Redding City Council on Nov. 3. The number of vacancies changes often as workers retire or resign, Webb said, but on Oct. 26 — the date his office compiled the report — Redding had 38 openings. The council opted on Nov. 3 to hold off on cutting vacant jobs until they hear fiscal updates in December — and after three newly elected or reelected councilpersons are seated. If the council then decides to freeze those jobs, those and other cuts made to vacant positions in October could save the city as much as $2.66 million in fiscal year 2027, said Webb. But just because a job is vacant doesn’t mean that position isn’t necessary, he said. Some of those jobs have “mission critical roles. They could be public safety. They could be tied to regulatory requirements or essential services or continuity.” And some departments' staff are

Redding Costco center adding steakhouse. 2nd El Pollo Loco? | The Buzz

Arguably the busiest shopping center in Redding, River Crossing Marketplace, home to Costco, is going to be getting a lot busier. Texas Roadhouse, a steakhouse with locations across California, is coming to the shopping center. Ken Miller, of Northstate Commercial Partners, said the company has signed a ground lease for the vacant lot between Chick-fil-A and the Costco gas station on the east side of the shopping center. “The tenant is going to build it (the restaurant),” Miller said. He did not have a construction timeline or the expected opening date. Miller said the Texas Roadhouse in Redding will be about 8,000 square feet and it will be a sit-down restaurant. Texas Roadhouse only serves dinner on weekdays and is open for lunch on weekends, according to its website. Each restaurant has a butcher and baker. “The butchers, or Meat Cutters, hand-cut each and every steak we serve. Our Meat Cutters work in 34-degree coolers and cut an average of $1 million of meat a year per store,” Texas Roadhouse’s media fact sheet says . The baker makes the restaurant’s yeast rolls from scratch every day. The rolls are served with cinnamon butter. The publicly traded company (TXRH) was established

PG&E warns of new power shutoffs in 7 Northern CA counties. See areas at risk

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is warning that more than 600 customers in seven Northern California counties could lose electricity beginning Friday evening as strong, dry winds raise wildfire concerns, less than a week after widespread shutoffs left tens of thousands without power. The potential public safety power shutoffs could affect 644 customers in portions of Butte, Lake, Napa, Shasta, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties, according to PG&E’s latest estimates. But the possible outages are narrowly targeted, with the utility’s maps showing small, scattered areas in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and remote sections of the Coast Ranges. In Butte County, possible shutoffs are concentrated east of Paradise and Magalia, around the Concow area. In Shasta County, the areas under consideration follow portions of the Highway 299 corridor near Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek. Closer to Sacramento, only small pockets of western Yolo County and Solano County near the Napa County line are at risk. The maps do not show potential shutoffs in Sacramento, Woodland, Davis or West Sacramento. PG&E placed portions of all seven counties under a PSPS watch for Friday and Saturday, meaning outages were considered likely because of forecast high winds and dry conditions. The utility said
